How we cover Tech
Two questions decide whether a tech item belongs on this page. Did anything actually ship? And does a benchmark survive contact with someone who is not on the launching team's payroll? If the answer to either is no, the item is announcement theater and ranks accordingly. SignalPop's tech room reads from The Information, The Verge, Ars Technica, Reuters, and the Financial Times for the first pass, with 404 Media and Wired for the original reporting that the wires miss. Coverage emphasizes the things that actually shift the landscape: regulatory rulings, antitrust filings, M&A that reshapes a sector, security incidents with real victim counts, and product launches that ship to enough users to register. AI coverage gets extra discipline — demos and benchmark claims get scored against whether a working public product exists at the URL the press release cites. Crypto coverage stays factual: prices, regulatory actions, exchange events, and not the perpetual price-target circus. Wonder is welcome; it is shown, not punctuated. Every story is one click from the publication that did the work.
